(what am i missing?)

 

[mordalphus]

he's pointing out that there's a cheap brand of the breeding boxes i sell on kensfish.com, although with shipping they're not that great of a steal

 

[ZID ZULANDER]

After doing the math its $15.38 less with UPS ground res. shipping. Thats a good deal in my book. Comes to $19.62 shipped to my house for the large one.

Kensfish has great deals, I'm going to be setting up a new tank and pricing out filters and heaters at the store is a lot compared to kensfish. They are about 15 dollars cheaper depending what brands you are looking for.

 

[plamski]

I bought sponge filters,T5 bulbs, Purigen, Eheim 2217, Aquaclear filters ,some heaters and breeding boxes. Total saving comparing to Amazon or Bigal's $90.Not bad. Like 30% total.

Depends on if a lfs has them or not get randys fish palace in stockton, ca has them for $8/10/12 so that's way cheaper than $20 shipped but you gotta be local ti pick it up

How many of you all use these breeder boxes?

How many of you all use these breeder boxes?

I have one setup on a new tank that is still cycling that I plan to throw some of my high grade males and a female to try and get some higher grade babies. The biggest thing I heard from people using them though is although fresh water is pulled in, it doesn't always stay that clean so I made a mini canister air drive filter from an old fish food container that is in it as well that I'm hoping will aid in filtering the area while my high grade males hopefully have some fun. Still waiting for my netlea soil to finish leeching though

Have any pic of your canister filter

Thanks I am going to try that. I have always felt the flow was not good on the breeder boxes, but that should help.

 

[plamski]

I'll set up tomorrow 3 of them .2 large and one medium. Hopefully they will do the job.

You can use a hagen elite or rio+ 50 powerhead to put water into them as well. Just hook up to the uplift tube instead of air

Do these suckas come with lids?

Since this thread was revived ^, my question is, "What is the benefit of this type of breeder box over a net one?" I'm getting ready to play geneticist and I bought both of these:

 

[mordalphus]

It's outside the tank, so doesn't clutter the inside, plus adds water volume to the tank. It also guarantees constant circulation through the breeder box, albeit slow circulation, but circulation nonetheless.

You can also put substrate inside the breeder box.

 

[Buff Daddy]

Thanks, Liam!

I have one with substrate, moss and one Fluval prefilter sponge with air stone inside-to work like sponge filter. So far everything is OK there are 8 shrimps inside. I'm thinking to replace air bubbler for flow with small water pump-elite micro or similar. Will see the result.
